There can be few things more satisfying for a football manager than seeing a youth prospect thrive in the first team.

It's always a testament to a coach's abilities when a young player excels under his tutelage - putting faith in a club's starlets is a bold approach which can reap huge rewards. Jurgen Klopp has certainly given plenty of responsibility to 19-year-old Jordon Ibe in his first few weeks at Liverpool boss.

It paid off big time last night. Jordon scored a sweet winner against Rubin Kazan in the Europa League, his very first goal for the Reds.

Unsurprisingly, Klopp's reaction was just wonderful.

Jurgen is known to be a naturally exuberant fellow - still, we've rarely seen him look as overjoyed as this. When asked about Ibe's goal in his post-match interview, the German gaffer's expression went from a pensive scrunch to a smile which beamed brighter than a million suns. Let's look a little closer.

This wasn't his only display of sheer joy over Ibe's goal. Directly after the match he sought the young winger out to congratulate him personally. However, Jurgen was so overexcited he could only shout "Ibeeeee!" before shambling up and giving him a great big hug.

We can definitely see a football bromance evolving between these two. We just love a good bromance.

Klopp and Ibe are a dream team in the making. The future's bright, Liverpool fans.
